We are actively working to preserve the physical artifacts as well as the stories and memories of life in one of America's concentration camps located at Poston, Arizona. It was named "Poston" or the "Colorado River Relocation Center", located on the Colorado River Indian Reservation during World War II. The Poston Community Alliance is a 501(c)(3)non-profit group.

Description: The Poston Community Alliance will assess the condition of the rapidly deteriorating elementary school buildings at the former Poston site and create a plan to stabilize and preserve these historic resources. The project will also result in the temporary stabilization of the buildings, while a phased restoration plan is developed for future work.Source: http://www.nps.gov/hps/HPG/JACS/projects.htmlABOUT THE JAPANESE AMERICAN CONFINEMENT SITES GRANT PROGRAMCongress established the Japanese American Confinement Sites (JACS)
grant program (Public Law 109-441, 16 USC 461) for the preservation and
interpretation of U.S. confinement sites where Japanese Americans were
detained during World War II. The law authorized up to $38 million
for the entire life of the grant program to identify, research,
evaluate, interpret, protect, restore, repair, and acquire historic
confinement sites in order that present and future generations may learn
and gain inspiration from these sites and that these sites will
demonstrate the nation’s commitment to equal justice under the law. Japanese American Confinement Sites grants are awarded to preserve and
interpret U.S. Confinement Sites where Japanese Americans were detained
during World War II.
Grants are awarded to organizations and entities working to preserve
historic Japanese American confinement sites and their history,
including: private nonprofit organizations, educational institutions,
and state, local, and tribal governments, and other public entities.
Grants will be awarded through a competitive process and require a 2:1
Federal to non-Federal match ($2 Federal to $1 non-Federal match).Source: http://www.nps.gov/hps/HPG/JACS/
